tamra.

yeah theres a lotta convo cut out, but she told me keep dieting, and working out naturally, that I dont need the band. I said yeah ok mom. then thats when she said I wouldnt be taking the easy way out anymore (as if I said ok I wont have surgery) make sense? she makes me mad lol! and no Candra she isn't italian, just heavy cooker of their foods....lasagna all the time, bread, spagetti (spelling), you name it.

wow. was talking to my mom on aol, and I feel personally attacked!! we were talking about weight loss, etc. and I showed her some pics, etc. and she said this after I said I will have some loose skin... ***ladyisme: you wont have cause you arent taking the easy road (I covered some of her screen name). She thinks I should just diet and not have the band. Thanks eh?

yay Riley!! you go girl!! have fun tonight :wink2: Maria way to goo!!! whooo hooo!! Well, today I checked my "on demand" and under excersize found a 15 min workout "walk 1 mile"....it was walking in place!! it felt so nice, so I did it. Here is what I have ate, not alot because I was running errands, etc. I skipped an xmas dinner party tonight too!! Breakfast - Skinny Decaf latte Lunch - (just ate now at 4 pm) - 1 italian sausage (turkey) with cabbage on the side. Then had 4 slices of Asiago cheese with some specialty salame my ex got from Trader Joes. All in all, only about 30 carbs today...kinda high but thats ok, at least I got some walking in :smile2: its a start!!!!

Awwww Riley so happy to hear your date went well!!!!! Yay!!!!

Lemme tell ya....my scales are crazy!! After my shower it told me 260....then 258 twice....then my Wii told me 256 LOL I give up!!! I am taking my scale outta this house

morning everyone!! Lee have fun on that walk! I was thinking about maybe doing the same, or walking the bridge or something. I HAVE TO EXCERSIZE!!! I haven't in so long; Maybe I will hit the gym for an hour today. I will eat more, and no more coffee today. I woke up and half asleep got on the scale, said 262 flat....thats alil up from Weds; the problem is no coffee I end up drnking diet soda's. I guess in reality those being 0 everything is alittle better for me. after the shower naked I will re-weigh myself like usual....then no more scale until I go to Kaiser on Monday for a check.

Candra those are what I buy!! So yummy!! girl I gained weight on my parents cooking...dad/grandma is fried chicken, greens, black eyed peas and french fries, and my mom was italian food, and tuna casseroles!...sounds sterotypical almost LMAO!! but you get my drift...plus throw in some no excersize in school, and mcdonalds, and walah! tamra @ 262 lbs. LOL. I jumped on the scale just now @ 11 pm for fun, and I am alil over 262. I think it was 262.4 or something...I am like wow, 1 lb heavier then the meeting, that's good shape there after eating, drinking 50 oz of water and sneaking 2 cookies. Hopefully that 259 re appears again tomorrow morning :smile2: I have a cookie/drink party to go to Sunday. this my friends will be my biggest test.....

Hey Pat don't forget about me I am only 11.8 lbs to go!!! except I had 2 sugar cookies my baby made tonight...they were super small, and super good...lol...but that was it, otherwise: Breakfast: venti latte lunch: small bag of pork rinds dinner: turkey breast with cabbage gonna go lay my daughter down now....

Hey nicole your BEATING ME urgh!!!! Lololol *smile* good job!!!!! Went to safeway and todays special for $5 is over roast turkey breast so I got one and will make cabbage for the side :biggrin:

ahhh Candra I am the most pickiest over weight person you will ever ever meet. I don't eat mayo, nor eggs; no mushrooms; no ketchup; no seafood of any kind; no tomatoes unless their in salsa; no pork unless it's bacon; nothing but water and diet sodas; no hotdogs unless their kosher; no dark meat on poultry. LOL i am sure there are way more.

Thanks Candra, I am super releaved!! Lee - I hope we both kick these last lbs together!! Wouldn't it be funny if Baggs did both of us in the same week? I havent ate much yet today, just coffee. I have the left over cornish game hen I will eat for dinner, so just need some lunch ideas.... Starting on my 50 oz water now.

Morning everyone!! So my scale said 259.8 this morning hehe!! but I never know if it's right or what, since it's kinda old, etc. So I will wait and check next week at kaiser. Just got the heads up my insurance is finally re-activated thru Cobra so I am good to go! Good luck tonight Riley!!!! :biggrin:

Candra I am down for the next meeting just remind me when it is

Jes I did notice the lady left early after being ripped by bev....poor thing. I have a 711 brand water bottle I have been using that says 50.7 oz on it. I just finished my second one for today!! I am laying here hungry lol. My cornish hens came out soooo yummy I kept picking at the second one. I finally had to put it in the fridge to stop myself...lol...sheesh. Now that I was down those lbs last nite I wanna work super hard and get the last 11 off asap.....I feel more determined now....those meetings really do help

Where is everyone today!!

Ana - I texted you last week I was worried about you!!! I havent ate much today, whooops!!! but my scale said 1 lb less then last nights meeting. Breakfast - 5 pieces of bacon Lunch - Skinny Latte (Whoops) Dinner - I de-skinned some cornish hens, and will eat one of those baked with cucumbers on the side!! Almost 50 oz water so far.

Maria - they had a big scolding last night at the meeting about alcohol...its a major no no...yet my friend who had the RNY does still drink once in a while....I dunnooooo....

Also my insurance aka kaiser would not even let someone with your type of medical issues be approved. These surgeries have high suicide rates as well as RNY....look into something safer.

Dude you don't weigh enough. Case closed.stop using our tax money for a surgery that isn't 100 percent needed. If it was they woulda approved you. Odd that your told no then low and behold you go back weighing more?? Come on.

whoops, hehe sorry Jes

Ash - Are you gonna do it?? Lee here is also doing the sleeve, you could talk to her about it! Monique - Candra actually asked Jewel if you were coming and I believe she said you were but didn't know!! Of course the non cell phone talker I am, I havent saved your number yet!!!! PM it to me again! I will save it RIGHT NOW!!! I am a texter, so next time you may get hella text LOL

Monique!!! You shoulda came tonight!! You will be okay everyone has slips ups BUT WE ARE STRONGER THEN THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi all, Home from the Richmond group, it was really good tonight!! It was so nice seeing Jewel and Candra again, and meeting Lee and Beatrice!!! I weighed in, and wow! I have lost like 3.6 lbs since Monday!! How nuts is that? So all in all down like 5+ lbs in 2 weeks. That makes me so happyyyyyy!!!!
